Hold on tight! Here we go!! In a world where competition reigns supreme, only one person can call themselves... champion. That will be the victor of salazaar99's Gamerscore Challenge... Which titles are people going to use first? The hard ones with big points? The easy ones with small points? Who is the favorite? Who is the underdog? Who is going to win? In 7 days we will know!
It's always warmer in the East Bay!! lol Btw, it was nice and toasty here today... it felt like mid-August... in late October. : ) I have a feeling that it's going to be a long winter.
Yeah but you know the famous quote..."The coldest winter I ever spent, was a summer in San Francisco".
Hey, I had to put a blanket on the bed last week when it was 48 at night....brrrrrrr!
@Mr Arrow - Yeah, well I had to scrape frost off my windshield this morning, so take that!
Cisco - I hear that, tuesday can't get here soon enough, when I predict my work productivity will drop 100%.
Just an FYI, it's going to be 80 with a clear blue sky here in Northern California today!
No worries man, Phillies won't win. ; ) But in case they do, I hope you have knowledge of the metric system. Just move to Niagara Falls man... close enough to both sides.
Is it tuesday yet? I want my lunchbox already!! :D
Well if the Phillies DO win, I'll be moving to one of the non-French speaking parts of Canada.
Well I'll be sliced up and fried in vegetable oil! Like I said earlier, I thought just Quebec was French influenced. I stand corrected.
Take a look at our goverment web site and judge for yourself:
http://www.gov.mb.ca/index.fr.html
Manitoba isn't French speaking is it? I thought only Quebec was French. Altough I have to admit the one time I was in Quebec I had a blast walking through a SuperMarket and seeing familiar products with French names. My favorite was the box of "Capitaine Crounche".
If Mystic speaks French then I'll have to learn, otherwise I'll stick with the English.
"The city was hit by a major downpour — as much as 45 millimetres of rain in the span of two hours on Friday evening."
OMG, you'll have to learn a new language as well, "millimetres", eh.
And by the way, how's your French, eh?
You might need to provide your own, we don't get that many tornados here in Manitoba

That is one smokin' trailer....and for only $35K. Does it come with its own Tornado generator or do I have to provide that myself?

Don't forget to write!
OMFG! Rex is back. He must be playing Fable II.
Too many games, not nearly enough time. If Millhill would stop glomming Saints Row 2, I'd be playing that instead of Silent Hill.
Pinch me, I must be dreaming.
Fable 2..........Today
Dead Space.....Wednesday
Guitar Hero 4.. Sunday
Fallout 3........ Next Tuesday
JOY!
I know Dead Space is already out but I'm getting in Wednesday
